I made a brushholder with a towel. I'm so happy with it! Picked the idea somewhere from the internet. Folded a black towel, stitched straight lines and some ribbons and that's it. It looks greyish on the photo because of the flash, but it's black. When I have painted somewhere I put my brushes in it, doesn't mind if they are still a bit wet. At home I clean the brushes and throw the towel in the washing machine.

Wow now this is genius!!! I wish I hadn't gone out and bought one two weeks ago. Thank goodness it was only like 7 bucks. I like this idea better. It seems more compact. AnD I love the idea that it can be washed. Hope you don't mind if I make one for myself.

Thanks for sharing..My little boys decided that they wanted to make personalized Tshirts for their teddies,,so I will have my sewing machine out tomorrow..what superb timing for this post..Thank Nancy!

I made a similar thing and didn't even think about posting it up here, being a 'newy' and all!

I love the idea of making it out of a towel so that you can just throw it in the wash.

I made mine out of a "wipe-able" plastic/material...I haven't put my dirty brushes in it though . . . now that I think about it I could of course! I could also put an extra piece of material or towel in between the dirty brushes and the holder to avoid the fabric from staining. I will try that this weekend.

you know i missed the posts from april 28 completely! missed the picture of that beautiful brushholder you made aussie. it's great, so colourful. thanks for bringing the thread back up funfrogotherwise i would not have known!
